<p>Summer session offerings are primarily determined by the availability and interest of faculty - so while we hope to continue to offer 142A-B in summer, it will be completely dependent on the faculty.</p>
<p>As for Math 193A-B, it is highly unlikely that they will be offered next year. Since we do not have regular faculty to teach these courses, the budget situation has simply made it impossible for us to hire a suitable instructor. However, as it was a possibility that the courses may not be offered in the regular year, we did make sure that we could offer at least one of the actuarial courses over the summer (Math 193A is scheduled in session one).</p>
<p>It is very unfortunate that we will need to curtail our offerings - as we know that these courses are useful and popular - but we do need to ensure that we meet our core obligations (both to our majors and to the university at large) while we operate under diminishing funding.</p>
<p>Also, from what I remember when I took 193, it was already only being offered every other year, and I believe wait lists were crazy for that class. Weird since a great chunk of those classes had people dropping or failing out at a pretty frequent basis (guessing the Econ majors without enough prob theory/forecasting coursework).</p>
<p>Probably, the exact equivalency would depend on the syllabus you covered (Further Maths, Higher Maths, which components you completed). You would need to submit a petition and have your syllabus reviewed - but students usually receive the equivalent to Math 20A and 20B.</p>
<p>Would it be possible to do an Applied Math/Bioinformatics double major? Or a Math and CS/Bioinformatics double major? I feel like they would compliment one another, but it seems like either would require a couple of extra quarters to complete - plus summer coursework.</p>
<p>i took the math placement and was placed in either math10a or 4c, would it be better to take math10a instead of 4c as a prereq for math20a just in case i decide on taking the 10 series? or should i just do 4c then 20a</p>
<p>For Management Science majors, is there a particular reason why Math 20F is suggested to be take the winter quarter of second year? Assuming that you follow the 4-year plan. Just wondering because I decided to take it fall quarter.</p>
<p>It’s certainly possible to double major between the areas you’ve mentioned - and since Bioinformatics is actually offered under four different departments (Biology, Bioengineering, CSE, Chemistry) the exact majors would depend on the aspects of the field that interest you most (Biological, Computational, Systems Engineering). You would probably want to speak with a Math advisor to go over your individual interests - send an email to <a href=“mailto:mathadvising@math.ucsd.edu”>mathadvising@math.ucsd.edu</a></p>
<p>As for the second part of your post, yes, double majors do require additional coursework (you need at least 10 unique upper-division courses for each major - after that the courses can satisfy both sides), but if you’re organized it can be done in a reasonable amount of time. Again, talk to a major advisor about planning out your coursework.</p>
<p>Matthew Hyatt is a visiting faculty (I believe he’s coming from the University of Miami). I don’t know much about him.</p>
<p>We will be opening additional seats in all Math lower division courses on August 29th for new freshman enrollment - so there’s some chance for Oprea’s class.</p>
<p>Math 4C is much better preparation for taking 20A. It will help with any foundational problems or deficiencies in Trig or PreCalc so that you can succeed in the 20-series.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t recommend taking 10A if you have any inkling of going into a science related field (something that requires the 20-series). Math 10A is simply not designed to be preparation like 4C.</p>
<p>You’d need to check with Economics to be sure (it’s their major plan) - but I can’t think of any real reason to put off Linear Algebra if you have the prerequisite. We recommend our majors take it as soon as they finish Multivariable Calculus (20C).</p>
<p>From msg #30: “We will be opening additional seats in all Math lower division courses on August 29th for new freshman enrollment - so there’s some chance for Oprea’s class.”</p>
<p>Does this include Math 20D? According to my D (freshman), there’s only one space left. (Because of AP Calc, she doesn’t have to take 20A or B; took equivalent to 20C during the summer – transcript received). What if she can’t get into Math 20D in the fall? (An advisor told her since she’s so far ahead, she could skip the whole year in math this year and start with Math D next fall; is this wise?) Many thanks!</p>
<p>I am an Int’l student. I am reaching SD only on 12th September and giving MPE on 14th. I have given Chem Placement Exam and have been advised to enroll in Chem 6AH. As Engineering Student I have been advised to take Math 20A along with Chem 6AH. However it seems I cannot enroll in Math 20A without clearing my Math Placement Exam on 14th.</p>
<p>Here is my question - As class enrollment starts on Sept 1 and Math 20A seats will all be filled up before my math placement result - what should / can I do. I am sure this problem is being faced by many international students as MPE cannot be taken online from my country. Need help asap as Enrollment begins in 2 days from today.</p>
<p>I got placed in Math 20B and according to the rankings on ratemyprofessors.com all the teachers teaching the course are kind of ‘subpar’. I intend on picking Yuan Zhang since she seems to have the best rating out of all the teachers. I was just hoping those of you who have experience with this teacher could tell me a little about her class and whether or not her exams are tough.</p>
<p>We did open additional seats in Math 20D, but because there is much less demand for this among new freshmen, we only released one additional seat per section. </p>
<p>So for Professor Oprea’s class, there are a total of six available seats - and there are 18 additional seats throughout all of 20D.</p>
<p>There would be no need to skip math for a full year - even if she’s unable to get into the lecture she wants for Fall, we’ll be offering multiple lectures of 20D in both Winter and Spring. And depending on her major requirements she could still enroll in either Math 20E or 20F (the courses can be taken in any order after 20C) in Fall instead of 20D.</p>
<p>In order to give international and out-of-state students a chance, we actually keep back one seat in each section of Math 3C, 4C, 10A and 20A. If you take one of the later placement exams because you’re out of state or out of the county, just notify the Mathematics advising office (<a href=“mailto:mathadvising@math.ucsd.edu”>mathadvising@math.ucsd.edu</a>) once you receive your placement result and we can work on getting you into the class you need.</p>
<p>I’ll leave that question for students - though I will say that ratemyprofessor.com does tend to attract extreme reviews. You may want to double check those evaluations with the [Course</a> and Professor Evaluations](<a href=“http://www.cape.ucsd.edu/]Course”>http://www.cape.ucsd.edu/) as CAPE tends to have a better response rate and more information.</p>
<p>so say a math class Discussion doesn’t fill up…what happens?
also, what would your advise be for the following question:
if there is a discussion already full with 1 waitlist currently, with chances of about say 5 by the end of tomorrow [my registration date is morning of 31st] should i enroll in that discussion because it is more suitable to my schedule or should i pick another time which also works, which is not full.</p>
<p>First - as a disclaimer, all numbers referred in this post are estimates, actual decisions are based on a large number of factors that would fill up the thread…</p>
<p>For lower division classes, if a section doesn’t fill up, but has a ‘good’ number of students (say 10-12) then it just continues as a low enrollment section.</p>
<p>If it has a really low enrollment (say 7 or less), we’ll probably end up canceling it. The enrolled students will need to go into other times.</p>
<p>If it’s somewhere in-between, so 8-10, then it could go either way (it depends on what the enrollment is like overall, if there are large waitlists elsewhere, etc).</p>
<p>As a good rule of thumb, you can figure 10% of a section’s enrollment limit will get in off the waitlist without much problem (so the first 3 or 4 waitlisted in a 35 student section) - beyond that it’s anyone’s guess. </p>
<p>I would say that you really shouldn’t go on a Math waitlist to be number 8 or more if there’s a space in another lecture that can still fit your schedule.</p>
